Make a webapp framework/ecosystem as awesome as R's Shiny: a challenge to Julia's community

Well, maybe at the moment, but I think that may be mostly because it’s the only game in town currently (nothing else just runs on any browser), but from what I understand, WebAssembly support will be in all of the major browsers, so if Julia can be made to run well in that environment, it could really open a lot of doors for Julia on the web.

My understanding is that once people start re-jiggering LLVM, JVM etc to output to WebAssembly and it is universally supported in browsers, the JavaScript domination might come to an end shockingly quickly, no? (This is a question not an assertion, I have no idea what I’m talking about.)
